No, it's dead because it's not economically profitable without government help. Not something that can be said of solar and wind. Again, we should be investing in nuclear fusion. Fusion doesn't have meltdowns, isn't radioactive, doesn't create waste, and would make every other form of energy completely obsolete the moment we commercialized it and scaled it up. Energy would become basically free, it would be a massive step toward a post scarcity economy.
